Lyrics The Border Song - Elton John

The Border Song

Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the specter, he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain’t my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction, I think I’ll have to leave
Won’t you please excuse my frankness but it’s not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
I’m going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain’t abused
I can’t take any more bad water
Been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Holy Moses, I said, «Let us all live in peace»
Let us find a way to make Jamaica hatred cease
There’s a man over there, what’s his color I don’t care
He’s my brother, let us live in peace
He’s my brother, let us live in peace
He’s my brother, I said,"Let us all"
I said,"Let us all live in peace"
